    • Abstract:
      The article examines the importance of playground exercise and recreation for young children. According to the article, children can attain two-thirds of their recommended daily dose of exercise in only a half-an-hour of playground time. It is a unique way to keep kids trim and to focus on weight loss while emphasizing fun. Particular focus is given to an energy expenditure study conducted at the University of Florida which focused on the number of calories kids burn at the playground.
